After far too long a break from PC gaming I have returned to my beloved platform. Begone foul xbox!

Here's how I've been spending the past few weeks on my new machine. Warning, this is a gratuitously long, self indulgent gallery of pics. spam_can

Elite Dangerous









Falcon BMS





Rise of Flight







DCS Huey



Verdun


And last but by no means least, Kerbal Space Program

What's on that flag in the Kerbal screenie? Just curious if it is a custom graphic or if it comes with the game. In any case, it looks like pure fun!


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

It's a picture I added in myself. The character is "Radical Edward" from Cowboy Bebop (very funny Japanese cartoon).

I love the shots. Quick question: is Elite Dangerous early access or has it been released? Oh, how is it? It looks awesome from where I'm standing.

Thanks,

Is Verdun any good at the moment? I tried it quite a while ago and it was kind of pants, but I hope it improves as WW1 is my favourite military era.

Verdun? I took a chance on it as it looked quite good from the screenshots, and it is very playable.

Mercilessly unforgivable, but really good (traumatising) fun! Not sure if everyone would enjoy it though as you have to be a bit of a sadist.
